Whoa! I assume this is over-stated. Are you saying that
safe/clean/easy is unlikely, is dangerous, has side-effects, is too
boring, or what? A blanket statement that you reject safe/clean/easy
solutions seems to merit further explanation. If something were really
simple/safe/clean/easy, why would you reject it?
